Performing the Squat and Kick with the Side Leg:

- Keep your knees forward and in line with your ankles; come down with your buttocks towards the floor
- Raise your glutes slightly, shift your weight onto one leg and perform a controlled side kick by bringing the leg as high as you can
- Do the squat again, lift your glutes slightly and perform a side kick with the opposite leg.
- Leaning too far with the body on the side while making the side cheese.
